Vintage 1940s Champagne Sequin Half Hat Beaded Cocktail Cap Bridal Evening Millinery

Vintage 1940s Champagne Sequin & Beaded Half Hat – Sculptural Evening Cocktail Cap

Description

A spectacular vintage 1940s evening half hat completely covered in shimmering champagne and ivory sequins with intricate glass beadwork creating an ornate scrolling botanical design.

The close-fitting sculptural silhouette is densely hand embellished with overlapping rows of small sequins that create remarkable texture and movement across the entire surface. Swirling lines of translucent champagne glass beads sweep across the crown in an elaborate foliate pattern, giving the hat beautiful dimension and sparkle without overwhelming its sophisticated neutral palette.

The soft champagne, ivory and pale gold coloring is especially beautiful, with the aged sequins displaying subtle variations in tone that give the piece the unmistakable character of early hand-sequined millinery.

The hat is constructed over an open woven foundation with grosgrain finishing around the interior edge. A black elastic cord is present inside to help secure the hat when worn.

An exceptional statement piece for a vintage bridal look, cocktail ensemble or serious millinery collection.
